HP Insight Capacity Advisor 6.0 Software: User Guide

usage rights, iCAP cores can be turned on by the iCAP software or during installation. Cores
with usage rights are activated with the icapmodify command (or the vparmodify command
in a virtual partition) while HP-UX is running.
iLO HP Integrated Lights-Out. An application that allows you to remotely configure, update, and
operate server blades and standalone systems.
inactive logical
server
A logical server that contains metadata but is not currently bound to a specific physical server
or system. Inactive logical servers that have never been activated might or might not be bound
to storage.
See also active logical server, logical server.

Integrity VM HP Integrity Virtual Machines. A soft partitioning virtualization product that allows you to
install and run multiple systems (virtual machines) on the same physical host system (Integrity
server or nPartition). The Integrity server or nPartition acts as a VM Host for the virtual machines
(also referred to as guests). The virtual machines share a single set of physical hardware
resources, yet each virtual machine is a complete environment in itself and runs its own instance
of an operating system (referred to as a guest OS).
See also virtual machine, VM Host.
invalid data In HP Insight Capacity Advisor software, data that could potentially skew reporting results and
lead to inaccurate or misleading conclusions when capacity planning. Examples of events that
Capacity Advisor can recognize as potential sources of invalid points include the following:
• System downtime during a data collection period
• Data manually marked by the user as invalid
• Partial collection from a virtual machine or a VM host
See also missing data, valid data.
IPM HP Insight Control power management. An integrated power monitoring and management
application that provides centralized control of server power consumption and thermal output
at the level of the data center. It extends the capacity of data centers by enabling you to reduce
the amount of power and cooling required for ProLiant and Integrity servers.
Itanium®-based
systems
Systems built on any version of the Intel® Itanium® architecture.
logical server A feature provided by HP Insight Virtualization Manager software, a logical server is a set of
configuration and metadata that you create, activate, and assign to operate within a physical
or virtual machine. An active logical server can be moved from one location to another, and its
characteristics can be modified. This feature allows you to populate an enclosure, load balance
servers, and evacuate servers in case of disaster; it allows you to provision resources only when
needed and increase utilization of limited compute resources.
See also active logical server, inactive logical server.
LTU License to use. One of the three main components of HP Insight Global Workload Manager software
for Integrity (gWLM): CMS, agents, and LTU for each agent. The CMS allows you to control and
monitor gWLM. The agents run on the systems where you are managing workloads. You install
an LTU on each system that runs an agent in order to continue full agent functionality beyond
the initial trial period.
managed resource A resource that can be allocated and controlled by HP Insight Virtualization Manager software.
Managed resources include: cores, memory, disks, and I/O bandwidth.
managed system A server or other system that can be managed by HP Systems Insight Manager software from a
CMS . A managed system can be managed by more than one CMS.
managed
workload
A workload that is managed by HP Insight Global Workload Manager software for Integrity (gWLM).
